Clutch slipping plus questions

[chungster]

Early cars were known to have the crappy LUK clutches. My 06 one did and failed as soon as remap went on

don't worry Joe, we all know your car is a mutant, it should have blown up years ago but hasn't!!!

Spoke to superchips who have just sent me a different map to try with a less aggressive torque delivery. Will give it a bash later on tonight and see how it goes.

You may not like it. I didnt

Went back to the Full fat version

It will only get worse over time if your running any sort of map. So as Matt said, start saving up for the Sachs.

Hmmm will see how it goes! Did you have to flash it back to standard first before installing the Diet version?

Yes, load your stock map, then Bluefin will email you the new one.

Most model year gti's had LUK clutches, it was the first batch of flywheels which were flaky and caused clutches to fail.  They had a short period of using sashs clutches but have now gone back to a modified LUK clutches.  My 05 gti failed at 39k   LUK are the only clutches VW will put on the gti now

My diesel had a LUK flywheel fitted from new but got recalled shortly after, the replacement was a Sachs one. After 51k and 2 flywheels, it's needing another one now. I'll have to 'adapt' my driving slightly to suit it I think, quite a lot of torque going through it at the minute!

Mine is a 06 gti 3 door manual
 after a stage 1 remap and while under 4k in the rev range and in say 4/5/6th gear when u floor it it judders and then takes off is this the dual mass flywheel going or clutch slip??? it also does it when cornering at a fair speed?

[MAT ED30]

if its a judder i would say dmf is on its way out so turn you map off to help save it the abuse until you can sort it

My Clutch went at around 17k miles on my vRS (K03) when i was REVO Stage 1 mapped.

I just got a Sachs Clutch fitted and it wasn't much more than a standard OEM one

Thanks for the info 
the clutch is fine and not slipping i think?
it looks like the dmf cant cope withe the extra tourqe at low revs when i boot it
im off to re map the car back to standard
ah well it woz good while it lasted.

I wouldnt be too hasty on the clutch being the issue mk2mexico
You state it also happens when    'it also does it when cornering at a fair speed'  , cornering should have no bearing on whether the clutch is slipping or not.......

judder could be overboost , poor engine mounts , coilpack misfire any number of things.

have you scanned for fault codes from the ECU?
